Seven Minute Frosting (Gluten-Free)

Scott Adams

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease. In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore!, and I am the co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.

In
the top of a double boiler, combine the sugar, water, egg whites,
corn syrup or cream of tartar and the salt. Beat with an electric
mixer set at low speed for 30 seconds, then set the pan over
boiling water (the pan bottom shouldnt touch the water). Beating
at high speed, cook the frosting for about seven minutes, or
until its stiff and glossy. Remove from the heat, add the vanilla
and beat two more minutes.
